A Survey on Distributed Visualization Techniques over Clusters of Personal Computers

In the last years, Distributed Visualization over Personal Computer (PC) clusters has becomeimportant for research and industrial communities. They have made large-scale visualizations practicaland more accessible. In this work we survey Distributed Visualization techniques aiming at compilinglast decade’s literature on the use of PC clusters as suitable alternatives to high-end workstations. Wereview the topic by defining basic concepts, enumerating system requirements and implementation challenges, and presenting up-to-date methodologies. Our work fulfills the needs of newcomers and seasonedprofessionals as an introductory compilation at the same time that it can help experienced personnel byorganizing ideas
